If [MIDI TX] is set to ON, the external sound generator is controlled. To change the RD-700’s Tones and make settings in Keyboard mode, set [MIDI TX] to OFF. Also, check if the PART SELECT button for the Part containing the Tone you want to change is set to ON. Finally, ensure that [NUM LOCK] is off, as Tone categories cannot be selected with the TONE SELECT buttons when [NUM LOCK] is on.

First, check that the connected amps and speakers are powered on and the volume isn't turned down. Also, verify that the VOLUME slider isn't all the way down.
